    Tempotec V3 DAP - small, powerful, functional with Hiby OS

    @Aramaki Where can I get the leather case from? I need it separately. But I only see it on AliExpress together with the player.

    Linsoul $1 Reservation Card (RC) For HarmonicDyne Athena

    Ok guys, so here is the catch. For shipping these headphones Linsoul charges a minimum of 32$... For comparison, the Sivga Oriole, a 199$ headphone, ships for free, as do many other products... So this is where Linsoul tries to rip off their customers! Was interested but not buying these...

    Linsoul $1 Reservation Card (RC) For HarmonicDyne Athena

    New psychological tricks from the sales department 😉 Still I think it's an interesting new sales model for both Linsoul and customers: - Linsoul generates additional revenue by non-refundable micro payments for the reservations. And they get an estimate of interest in the product although this...

    Two New Compact MTouch Portable Players – Shanling M0 Pro and M1s

    Great to see more MTouch players being released! MTouch gives fast boot times and good responsiveness. Several mid-tier Android-based DACs don't have adequate hardware and are slow and sluggish unfortunately. Also Tidal streaming with limited UI is a nice addition in MTouch. As long as...

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Sundara but closed-back… wouldn‘t that deserve a brand new name? I guess Hifiman want to ride the Sundara success wave as long as possible and make the most of their popularity. But given it’s closed back I would expect a different sound signature. So no longer a true Sundara. …would be...

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Overall I would say more vocal presence on Sundara. But very close for female vocals, these are also quite pronounced on HD560S.

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    I can provide a comparison between HD560S and Sundara. Detail retrieval is very good on both but the HD560S has a slight edge over Sundara. At the same time I prefer to listen to the Sundara since they sound a bit more laid back in comparison. In terms of soundstage I would also say it’s a...

    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    Would it be possible to get good sound of Edition XS using a Hiby R5 Saber on balanced out? The R5 Saber outputs around 1000mW output into 32 ohms.

    The New HIBY R3 II is here. 4.4MM Jack; Improved Sound and Bluetooth.

    Turn player off, then insert card, then turn on again, and use folder browsing. If you really want to scan then you can only scan entire library each time.

    Have you activated line-out mode in R3 for jack out?

    Astell&Kern AK UW100 TWS Earbuds

    Thanks! Sound comparison is totally sufficient. Considering that the AKG N400 is a fraction of the price of UW100 I don’t have to consider the latter.

    Reply to review by 'theMUKe' on item 'Moondrop Sparks TWS'

    Which firmware version did you use during the review? I read that sound signature changes with different firmwares.

    Hifiman Edition XS Launched

    What are the major differences? Less detail retrieval? More weighty bass? I have seen several comparisons but I would also be keen on your impressions. How is treble compared to Ananda? Here I have read different statements so no clue in the end.
